Sirius had quickly fallen asleep seconds after the two had spoken last. Remus had only fallen asleep for a few minutes – and woke up feeling completely refreshed, if not for being a little hungry. He had decided to simply lie beside Sirius, and watch his lover sleep. As he watched, a smile formed across Remus' gentle features.

Sirius had his hand lying on his stomach, rising softly with every intake of air. His bangs were lying across his eyes; causing his eyelashes to flutter each time they stimulated the small hairs. Remus reached over and brushed the straight black hair away from his eyes; Sirius smiled in his sleep and shifted his position, curing up next to Remus; his stomach facing him. Remus felt his own stomach flutter as Sirius smiled, snaking closer to him slowly. Propping himself up on his elbow, Remus watched as Sirius' mouth opened and shut a little, taking in a breath. Remus wanted nothing more than to run his fingers along the soft skin of Sirius' side, so he lay down facing him instead, allowing their knees to touch as he folded his hands underneath his own head.

Remus traced the outline of Sirius long thin-ish nose with his eyes, smiling when his eyes found the tip of it – which was slightly turned up. The bridge of his nose was flat, soon giving way to a small bulb of evenly shaped flesh above his nose. Eyes traveled to Sirius' lips, and at this point – Remus could no longer resist touching him. He ran a light finger along his lover's full bottom lip, and then the top – which wasn't thin, but wasn't completely full either. Sirius stirred only slightly and smiled at the touch, not moving his position but making a small noise that sounded like a purr. Remus laughed slightly, putting his hand underneath his head again. Sirius' cheekbones were well sculpted and raised slightly, causing a slight indent in his cheeks. His skin was completely flawless and soft as a baby, a few freckles dotted along his nose and cheeks, only noticeable if you were to look closely at him.

Without warning, Sirius opened his eyes. His long black eyelashes fluttered slightly at the close distance of the other boy but soon adjusted. Sirius lips curved into a pleasant smile as he brought up his hand, lightly stroking Remus' cheek with the back of his fingers. He then closed his eyes and lent forward, placing a gentle kiss to Remus' forehead, and then returning to his original position. Remus smiled at him gently and moved to twine his fingers with Sirius'.

"...Hi."

Sirius smiled gently again. "Hi."

Remus smiled wider and bent his forehead to rest it against Sirius', closing his eyes. He felt Sirius slightly cool breath falling lightly on his face only causing him to snake closer, fitting his knee in-between Sirius'. Sirius gladly moved and draped his arm over Remus' side, pulling him close so that Remus' chest was against his and his head was under his chin.

"Siri?"

"Hmm?"

"You're completely breathtaking."

Sirius chest rumbled slightly at the compliment. "Thank-you."

Remus buried his head deeper into Sirius's chest and smiled wide. Sirius took a deep breath, feeling lips caress his skin lightly. The two lay together in silence for a while until Sirius had begun to sing softly into Remus' hair.

"It's just you and me, on my island of hope, a breath between us could be miles, let me surround you, my sea to your shore, let me be the calm you seek..."

"What's that from...?"

Sirius brought his hand up to lightly run it through Remus' hair. "I don't know. I just picked it up somewhere."

Remus laid back and propped himself up on his pillow, and looked into Sirius' eyes. "I've learned so much about you that I didn't know before..."

Sirius blinked and brushed his bangs out of his eyes attempting to tuck them behind his ear, only to have them fall back over his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"I found out that you smoke, you wear this jewelry," Remus ran his finger along the studded collar. "and that you sing."

"Well I don't sing that often." Sirius took Remus' hand in his, and kissed his fingers. Remus watched as Sirius closed his eyes and placed a kiss to each of his fingers before turning it over and kissing the scar on the palm of his hand. Remus bit his bottom lip as Sirius looked up at him. "Why do you chew your lips so often?"

"I... what? I don't chew my lips."

Sirius smiled from the corner of his mouth. "Yeah you do." He ran a finger along Remus' bottom lip. "Look, here's the tooth indent, and it's also slightly wet."

Remus quickly ran his finger along the same place Sirius had. "Oh..." he blushed slightly. "I guess it's a nervous habit."

"What do you have to be nervous about when you're laying with me?"

Remus smiled and looked down. "You."

"...Me?"

"Yeah..."

"Why do I make you nervous?"

Remus sighed and flopped onto his back, resting his hand on his stomach and tracing one of the light scars that ran from his bellybutton to half way up his abdomen. "I always worry about how you see me." He smiled nervously. "I want to look my best for you all the time... I dunno... it's complicated really. It's just something stupid that I've done ever since I was a child."

Sirius placed his hand on Remus' to stop the movement. "You don't need to worry anymore..." He lent over and kissed Remus shoulder gently before propping himself up on his elbow and looking down at his boyfriend. "You're beautiful to me all the time. Every inch of your body is amazingly beautiful – scars and all." Remus smiled as Sirius bent over, kissing him gently. "Never worry about what I think you look like. No matter what stupid face you make, or way you hold yourself when you're standing, or even how you look after you've sneezed. None of that will ever change the way I think of you. You'll always be completely perfect in my eyes."

"...Thank-you." Remus smiled and lent up, meeting Sirius' lips. "It's amazing how much you've changed since the beginning of this year."

"Mmm... what do you mean?"

Remus sat up and crossed his legs, facing Sirius. "Well you used to be... a bit immature," Sirius raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded. "And now you don't act like a kid anymore..."

"So you mean I act more like you now?"

Remus laughed. "Yeah, I suppose so."

"I'm not the only one whose changed... you've taken a more drastic personality change than I have, dear Remy." Sirius continued when Remus raised his eyebrows and cocked his head to the side. "You're direct, confident in who you are, and that display about two hours ago... you'd never do that before even if you were high."

"Shut-up!" Remus smacked him with a pillow and pinned him to the bed. "You enjoyed it, admit it!"

Sirius smiled when Remus' hair fell over his eyes. He reached up and brushed it away, slowly wrapping his fingers around Remus' neck pulling him down, "Yeah... I did."

Remus allowed himself to be pulled down into a gentle kiss, repeating the kisses a few times. Remus had decided that when Sirius wrapped his fingers around his neck that it was a sort of 'claiming' process. It didn't really matter to him that Sirius held his neck when they kissed, if anything – he enjoyed it more when he held him there. It made Remus feel as if he really belonged to someone, completely and wholly belonged to someone. After Remus had ended the kiss, he got up and opened the curtains to the bed, then walked over to the couch to retrieve the maroon colored blanket that was resting on top of it. He then spread the blanket over himself and Sirius, and cuddled close to his lover – resting his head on Sirius shoulder, twining his legs in-between Sirius.

"Can I ask you something?"

"...Sure."

Remus shifted slightly, placing his palm to Sirius' peck muscle. "Who was she? The one you lost your virginity to?"

Sirius took a deep breath and kissed the crown of Remus' head before answering. "Alice Rowan. She was a 5th year Ravenclaw."

"What did she look like...?"

"She had black hair, and really bright green eyes."

"Is that all you can remember?" Remus laughed into Sirius chest as he pulled the blanket up around his shoulder.

"Well of course not! What do you want, every single detail?"

Remus continued to laugh. "Sure!"

"Alright then... She had the most amazing tits, they were so full and gorgeous oh, and her legs – they never ended. When she wrapped them around my body I just completely melted. And WOW her skin was so soft and her-"

"Ahh!! That's enough!" Remus giggled into Sirius's chest as Sirius pulled him close.

"Well you wanted details."

"Yeahhh... I suppose I deserved that."

Neither boys had noticed that James and Peter had entered the room. James walked up to the bed and was about to pull the blanket off of them when he realized – their clothes were laying about the room. He thought against it and shouted instead.

"OI!"

Sirius quickly sat up and brought Remus with him. The blanket had fallen from their shoulders exposing their chests. Remus blushed furiously, but didn't cover himself either.

"Hey James!" Sirius smiled brightly at his friend. "What's up?"

"Ahh... Not much. Want your clothes then?" James quirked an eyebrow and looked at Remus smiling.

"Yes... please." Remus managed to sputter out as he reached for his pants and took them from James' hands. "Thank-you."

"Yeah, not a problem. Here you go Pads." James threw Sirius his pants and turned as they dressed. "Suppose you did take my advice after all..."

"Er... yeah..." Remus smiled shyly as he pulled his t-shirt on. "We kinda did..."

"Mhm..." Peter flopped down on the couch and crossed his legs towards the bed. "We heard you, Remus. Jesus you're loud."

Remus' hands flew to his mouth and his face went completely red. Sirius narrowed his eyes at Peter before taking Remus in his arms. Remus bowed into Sirius' chest and shook his head.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god... they heard me... oh god... kill me now..."

"Ah come on, Remus – it wasn't that loud..." James smiled as he shrugged his shoulders a little, trying to convince Remus otherwise.

"How far away were you?" Sirius asked quietly as he ran his hand through Remus' hair trying to calm him down.

"Err..."

"Jesus Christ!" Remus turned to look at Peter and James. "You were halfway back to the school weren't you?!"

"...No. We were sitting on the stairs..." James recoiled a bit as he answered.

The color fell from Remus' face. "Oh god... I think I'm going to be sick..."

Remus pushed away from Sirius and ran towards the wastebasket next to the beside table. The three friends all turned and made a face as they heard Remus throw up.

"Ohh... that's rich..." James ran a hand through his hair and sat down on the ground, plugging his ears.

"Shit!" Sirius followed Remus to the wastebasket and rubbed his back as he continued to throw up. "James you asshole!"

"What?! I didn't mean to... I tripped-"

"Over your own foot." Peter supplied for him, laughing slightly.

James threw Peter a glare and returned his attention to Sirius. "I tripped and fell down the stairs... and since I was in too much pain to stand up and leave-"

"We decided to roll another joint and sit there, waiting until you had finished." Peter smiled widely as he ducked an incoming pillow.

Remus had stopped throwing up, and was now shaking his head. Sirius whispered into his ear to make sure he was okay, and when Remus nodded, he stood and advanced on James and Peter.

"You tripped on your own feet, fell down the stairs, and sat at the bottom of the stairs, listening to Remus and I... err... and then you rolled another joint?"

"...Pretty much." James sighed, and scratched his head.

"Why in God's name would you sit there and listen to us?! What's wrong with you?!" Sirius nearly screamed at them, causing James and Peter to recoil again.

"I'm sorry, mate... but my legs wouldn't work... we plugged our ears... I swear!" James held up his arms in defeat as he looked over at Remus who was now standing. "I'm really sorry, Rem..."

"...Uh-huh... It's fine..." Remus wiped his mouth slightly before sitting down on the side of the bed, his head in his hands. "Could you guys just... leave...?"

James and Peter both bowed their heads as they both stood, clearly ashamed of their actions.

"Yeah." Peter turned to the door and walked through it, waiting for James on the other side.

"I'm really am sorry..." James smiled nervously as he shut the door, locking it behind him.

Sirius didn't move until he heard the tower door close and footsteps out in the snow. He then walked towards Remus and kneeled infront of him, taking his hands away from his face – twining them with his own.

"You okay, Rem?"

Remus pulled Sirius up and lay down, allowing Sirius to rest on top of his body. "Yeah... I guess."

Sirius propped his head on the palm of his hand, the other hand on Remus's chest. "Well they aren't going to tell anyone... I can promise you that."

"Mhm..." Remus closed his eyes and groaned, his eyebrows furrowing. "That was so embarrassing..."

Sirius laughed gently before laying down, his head on Remus' shoulder. "Well it can't get any worse than it has."

"I suppose so..." Remus began to run his fingers up and down Sirius' naked back slowly, tickling the fair skin.

Sighing, Sirius spoke after a long pause in the conversation. "I've been thinking about getting something pierced."

"Such as?"

"I dunno..." Sirius propped himself up on his elbow and looked down at Remus. "My tongue... or nipple. Maybe a navel piercing."

Remus wrinkled his nose. "Don't get your tongue pierced."

"Why?"

"Because I love it the way it is. I don't think I'd enjoy kissing you as much if you had a large metal ball in your mouth." Remus giggled slightly thinking about it.

"What about my nipple?"

"That would be fine... it suppose it would hurt a lot... but I wouldn't mind. Then again, it isn't really my decision what you get pierced," Remus brushed Sirius's hair out of his eyes. "Your hair is soo long..."

"Should I get it cut then?"

Remus smiled warmly as he stroked his fingers along the soft hair again. "No... I love it the way it is."

Sirius smiled and lent down, kissing Remus' nose. "I'm glad that you like it."

"I like everything about you..." Remus furrowed his eyebrows, taking a hold of Sirius' earlobe. "Even those multiple holes in your ears... When did you get those?"

"I've had my ears pierced since 4th year. Though, Hogwarts doesn't allow me to wear all of my jewelry."

"How many times have you pierced them?"

Sirius thought for a moment before answering. "3 in my left earlobe, 3 in the right – with one cartilage piercing. I also got the little flappy thing on the left-"

"The flappy thing...?"

"Yeah..." Sirius grabbed onto the little piece of flesh on his left ear, closest to his cheek. "The little bit that pokes out... helps to direct sound into the ear."

"Oh... okay."

"Anyway, I got that pierced... but now I think that the hole has probably closed up, so I'm going to have to get it done again." Sirius rest his head on the palm of his hand again, looking down into Remus' eyes. "The school is really strict about piercings. They only let me keep the cartilage one in because if it closed up again, and I had to get it re-pierced there is the chance that the whole right side of my face would go numb."

"Really?"

"Yup, if they hit a specific place in your ear, then it can make that side of your face go numb because they've severed the nerve."

Remus raised his eyebrows. "Huh... I never knew that."

Sirius smiled. "You should get something pierced."

Remus had to swallow a laugh before responding. "Why?"

"Because I think it'd be hot if you did." Sirius smirked, raising his eyebrows.

"My parents would kill me if I came home with a piercing."

"Who says they have to be able to see it?" Sirius sat up, smiling widely. "We should go together and get something pierced."

"I don't know about that... what would I get done?" Remus sat up, subconsciously mimicking Sirius' position.

"Ummm... You should get your nipple done."

Remus made a face and cocked his head to the side. "I... I... wouldn't it hurt?"

"I'd be there with you the whole time, it'd be alright." Sirius took Remus' hands in his. "Please?"

Remus crinkled his nose up and squirmed around a bit before lowering his head. "What about the wolf?"

"Take it out every full moon."

"What would you get pierced then?"

"Ahh... well... maybe I'd get a tattoo."

"A tattoo?" Remus raised his eyebrows. "You'd get a tattoo?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"I don't... wh... where would you get it...?"

Sirius lay down on his side, thinking for a long while before answering. And as he found the answer, he pulled his pants down slightly. "Right there."

"Your hip?"

"Yeah... No one but you is going to see it. Besides, it would be something for you."

"For me? What do you mean?"

Sirius turned and flopped onto his back, raising his knees and resting his hands over his navel. "I'd get something that would remind me of you."

Remus furrowed his eyebrows and moved to straddle Sirius' waist, smiling when Sirius hands can to rest on his thighs - stroking them lightly with his thumbs. Remus looked down into Sirius' eyes. "You'd really get a tattoo for me?"

"Yeah."

Remus took a deep breath before responding, turning slightly pink at the words he was about to say. "Then... I... I'll... I'll get my nipple pierced for you."

Sirius smiled and sat up, allowing Remus to slide back slightly so that they were in a comfortable position. Remus unbent his knees and let them lay out nearly flat as he still sat on Sirius' thighs. "Don't get it done if you don't want to, Rem. As long as I have you with me, I'm fine. I don't need a pierced nipple to prove that you still love me – as kinky and wonderful as that would be."

Remus laughed and lent forward. He was about to kiss Sirius' lips before remembering what he had just done at the wastebasket - so he settled for kissing his cheek instead. "Alright."

Sirius smiled and rest his head on Remus' shoulder, wrapping his arms tightly around Remus' waist. "We should go work damage control with James and Peter."

Remus sighed as he wrapped his own arms around Sirius' neck, his cheek to Sirius' head. "I suppose so... but before that, can we go eat? I'm starving..."

Laughing, Sirius stood up holding Remus as he walked. Remus immediately clasped his legs around Sirius' waist – crossing his ankles together, tightening his hold on Sirius' neck.

"You need your shirt, and we both need our jackets." Remus reminded his boyfriend as he began to walk towards the door, smiling.

"Ahh bugger it... I can just wear you as a jacket."

"Siri..."

Rolling his eyes, Sirius backed up, and turned, lying down on the bed so that Remus was underneath his now warming body. "...I don't want to use my real jacket."

Remus smiled, uncrossing his ankles and adjusting his hips slightly, gaining a low groan from Sirius. "As much as I would love to be your jacket, and as much as I love having you between my legs," Remus decided to grind his hips against Sirius, gaining another moan as Remus kissed Sirius' neck. "but I need food, and so do you. And we both need our clothing so we don't freeze once we get outside."

Sirius smirked as he rolled his own hips against Remus, receiving an airy moan from the werewolf. "I concur whole-heartedly with you my fellow Marauder."

Sirius lent down and placed a quick kiss to Remus' lips before standing and looking for his shirt. Silent minutes passed, and Remus sat on the bed, ready to leave.

"...Siri?"

Sirius thread his arms through his jacket and looked up at Remus. "Yes?"

"...Is... is our relationship purely sexual?"

Zipping up his jacket, Sirius walked over to Remus, holding out a hand. Remus gladly accepted it, and smiled as Sirius pulled him into his arms, resting his chin on Remus' head. "No. I would still be here if we hadn't ever planned on having sex." As if he plucked the question straight from Remus' mind, Sirius spoke again – placing a gentle hand to Remus' cheek, forcing him to look up into his eyes. "Stop worrying my sweet Remus, I'm with you because I love you."

Remus' expression melted into a smile as he lent up and gently kissed Sirius' lips. "Alright..."

"Don't you ever think any differently, Remus. Don't ever." Sirius ran his hand down Remus' arm, and gently enclosed their fingers together, before leading him to the door.

Remus smiled in spite of himself and lent into Sirius body, resting his cheek on the soft outside fabric of Sirius' jacket. "I love you too."

Sirius looked down at him and smiled warmly, his bangs falling over his eyes. "I'm glad."

Author's Notes:

Right, well it seems that I've received a few questions/statements just begging to be addressed embedded in the comments, so I choose now - to answer/respond to them. .

Black Turkey of Doom: 1) Er...how do you know how to describe sex scenes?/ I don't really 'know' how to describe them, I just use my best knowledge on the subject and run with it. Of course, like a good slash writer - I've done my fair share of research on the subject of homosexual intercourse, so that's where I've found some information. Another good resource is just reading alot of other authors work and seeing how they describe it - then changing it around and using it in your own fic. Or, you know, describe what you'd like to have done to you. 2) I wonder if you could teach me how to describe sex scenes?/ I can't teach you how to write sex scenes! You have to learn this kind of thing on your own darling, there's nothing that I can teach you. Unless you find that reading my sex scenes gives you help - then I'm being a teacher. Otherwise, you just read and learn that way. So I do suppose that I am helping you... lol... weee!!!

Angel4eva3: 1) You seem to know alot about drugs (wink wink)/ Well, who doesn't these days? I suppose that it's alright that I'm telling you all how to roll a proper joint via my fic? Then again, you'd be suprised who taught me how to do it. (giggles and nudges at Tracey) And no! It wasn't her who taught me, but she knows who it was. .

Sweet Mercy: 1) I never thought the marauders smoked but I actually did think that sirius lost his viginity in third year.../ Ahh, well it was the 70's was it not? Who didn't smoke some form of tobacco/weed/drug in the 70's?

Magus Durron: There really wasn't a question/statement in your comment that I felt the need to respond to... BUT! You left a comment so full of piss and vinegar that I couldn't resist replying! I'm so thrilled that you thought of my fic to be good enough to err... remind you of... err... not a fic? AHUGH! Anyway, . ... What I meant was thank-you for thinking that it was something that was real like - till the sex. That meant tons! I LOVE YOU BACK!!! (titters happily)

StolenSoul4818: Well... let's see... for you, I do suppose that I can fit in some more Regulus if it'll make you happy! I'm always on the look out for suggestions - and I've just taken one. . and no, I don't have AIM... I am teh poor and alas - all I have is MSN... .

SiriusMoonPuppy: Ahh! I'm quite sure that Sirius enjoyed the screaming, and did remember it. I may have to write in more Gillyweed smoking on Remus' part... because high!Remus is my new favorite version of him.

. . . . . . . . .

I think that's about it for now... but just watch, I'll find something else I want to respond to later... and I'll kick myself.

But now - a general note for ALL the readers regarding the length of the story. IT WILL BE CARRIED ON PAST GRADUATION! Weee!!! I think that I'll take it to just after James and Lily's deaths, and have the last chapter be sort of a Remus POV after they've died and he's seen Sirius go to Azkaban. (nod, nod, nod) Yes, so expect to see this fic finish with about 50 Chapters or so... Maybe less, maybe more. Do not fear, I will warn you when the fic is coming down to an end - and, since it's only January 1st at Hogwarts... it won't be for a while.

Would you like a future chapter spoiler?! I BET!! Well here it is: Red Leather Pants with chains attached to them.

TRACEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (leaves her piles and hordes of cookies) Be happy again! And I'll post our fic as soon as I re-format it. Expect to see it up sometime before noon today (Aug 16th), considering the re-formating will take about an hour or less...

I can't believe I've gotten 223 reviews... (dies) MORE PLEASE!!! The more comments you leave, the more chapter spoilers you shall receive. (winks)
